No one moved to help the Captain.“Shit, you stupid mother fucker,” (Interpreted) the First snarled, his weapon now lined up on the Captain’s hea... – not that the Captain noticed because he was unconscious an instant after the beam had done its work. Generally, with this much damage, he would have bled to death in a short period of time, but because the beam had cauterized the wound, he stood a good chance of recovery should he receive medical attention in time.“Shit,” the First hissed out as he. She lived in the same town as i and is as old as i. I liked the way she talked and she couldn’t believe that i was from a non-Hindi place. I made a good conversation and i was intentionally rubbing my fore arm on her and we were unaware when her stop came and she rushed to get down. But before getting down, she took my number and we parted ways.Then after few days i got her message on whatsapp and our conversations began. I, with abundant knowledge of Bollywood love stories, impressed her in. Surely Cynthia would have noticed. But I kept on with the panic attack story and the visits to the shrink and she seemed to be buying it.Exactly three weeks from the last 'weekend cruise' she was getting ready to go. She passed me on the road and turned around to follow me back to the house. Not 'our home' any more. When we both turned into the driveway, she jumped out of her car and waited while I got Bear out of the van."Oh, James. I've missed you so much." She hugged me; I put my arms around. " Freda, I was just making small talk. So what else is new that I was told that I'm supposed to remember? Pete, you're still designing houses, I take it?" I'm still at it and busy. There are always different opportunities out there that are interesting. It has been six years since I was hired by the firm I still work for. They are still happy with me. The Abbey, where Ginger and Maria work is still the high point of my career so far. The most satisfying project I've been involved with anyway..
